2ParishSOFT Standard Operating Procedures

Note: These recommendations are based on a fully synchronizing system.

ParishSOFT is an integrated parish census data system that allows for synchronization of
parish records with the diocese. The program allows entered data to be used and
formatted in multiple ways for reports, merges, and other functions by more than one
parish. It is critical, therefore, that data be entered in a consistent and appropriate manner
to ensure quality data and performance throughout the system. The quality of reports and
advanced functions depend on the accuracy and consistency of data entry as well as
proper set-up of information.

This document provides parishes with the Archdiocese’s/Diocese’s standard operating
procedures to guide in the entering of data and monitoring the quality of entries to ensure
accurate information and reporting.

Please follow these standard operating procedures as outlined and contact us with any
questions or comments.

3Family and Member Information
Data Entry Standards When Adding a New Family/SOP #1
DESCRIPTION:
This standard procedure outlines the process that should be followed when a parish is
adding a new family to the family directory that is not registered at another parish. Data
entry standards should be used to ensure the proper formatting of mailing lists, letters,
and emails. Correct spelling of a family’s name along with the inclusion of member
birthdates will also help in the reduction of duplicate entries. When adding a new family,
the system performs an automatic look-up to see if that family is already within the
database.
PROCEDURE DETAILS:
When adding a new family, proper spelling and punctuation should be used at all times,
otherwise mistakes will cause duplicate records. After entering the family name that is to
be added to the database, always check to see if the family is already listed. Always
check your entries for accuracy before leaving the record.

When adding addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses you have an option to
publish or not publish them in reports. You can make a decision for your parish and make
all entries the same or you can ask individual members for their preference.
Entering Names
When adding a family that is not present in the database, be sure to capitalize the first
letter of each first name as well as the first letter of the last name. Do not use all capitals
for names or appearance when sending mail merge letters or other communications to
that family may be impacted.

It is important to add family and member names and the entry in the mailing field both
correctly for consistency and to respect the preferences of the person being entered.
Therefore, the question should be asked of the person or couple when registering them
about how they would like to see their names appear on letters and mailings. Once you
know their preference, the following reference link will help you properly format the
data.

• For consistency the husband or man’s name is always entered first – John and
Susan
• Do not use characters such as hyphens or forward slashes to indicate a couple.
• Do not use an ampersand (&) in place of the word ‘and’.
• Titles and suffixes
• For men: Mr John Smith, Sr; Mr John Smith, Jr; Mr John Smith, III, etc.
• For Mrs Jane Smith MD etc.
• Do not use spaces in names beginning with Mc, Mac etc. Use: McDonald,
MacDonald Not: Mc Donald, Mac Donald.
4• Do not use space in hyphenated names. Use: Mary Owens-Jones, Not Mary
Owens – Jones.

If you encounter a title that does not appear in the Title field, please contact the
ParishSOFT help desk ([e-mail]) so we can create a consistent entry for you
and the entire Archdiocese.

Remember to complete all name fields on both the Families and Members tabs.
Do not use all capitals for either the addresses or the names. Use proper upper and lower
case so that merged documents look attractive.

It is extremely important to enter clergy, military, non-Catholic, and civic titles correctly,
as well.

Entering Addresses
Address types
There are three address sections that can be completed for a family:
• Home is the defaulted address and should consist of the main physical address of
the family
• Mailing can be used for post office boxes, mail sent to the office address
• Other is used for a second location such as snowbird or temporary addresses.

If addresses are entered into Mailing or Other, make sure the Primary Address field is set
to the proper address (Mailing or Other) for mailings.


Standardized Address format
A standardized address is one that is fully spelled out, abbreviated by using the Postal
Service standard abbreviations (sample and table below).

For both mailing and street addresses, use upper and lower case – not all capitals.
Post Office equipment reads mail from the bottom of the address to the top. Therefore,
the most important information (the zip code) should be the last thing in the address line.
